superimposition of mind

The idea of me and mine in the body, organs. Etc., which are the non-self this superimposition the wise man must put a stop to, by identifying himself the Atman. Realizing your inmost self, the witness of intellect and its modifications, and constantly revolving the positive thought ‘ I am that’, conquer the identification with the non-self.

All the disquiet, tension and problems of the mind have only one origin, the false identification of one’s real Self with the non-self, giving rise to the idea of ‘me and mine’ in the body, the organs, ect. The cute of all these disorders is in the effective practice of the positive thought ‘I am That’, I am the Atman.’ That reality-oriented mind alone can be controlled.

The practice of fourfold Vadantic disciplines, which is enjoined for the attainment of illumination, takes care of the problem of mind control as matter of course.

These vedantic disciplines for controlling the mind can be helpfully supplemented by certain yoga disciplines which we shall now discuss.

When a mind dies?

The mind dies, being constantly fixed on his own self. Thence follows the cessation of desires. Therefore do away with your superimposition.

This death of the mind does not mean loss of the mind, but perfect purification, in which stat it is identified with the Atman. When one knows one self as the Atman, there is no longer a mind needing control.

In seeking to control of our mind we must aspire to this absolute state of being. As long as we have more desires than on, or other desire then desire for the realization of Atman, it will be difficult to control the mind, for it will then be in a scattered state. It we seek anything less then the highest, into which everything converges, as it were, the mind will be divided. It is hard to control a divided mind. In other words, those who seek anything less then perfect illumination, or realization of the self, can never control their mind perfectly. They have some desire other then that that for illuminations and therefore they in effect vote for the perpetuation. Thus they render them selves incapable of doing things needed for controlling the mind. Of these disciplines one particularly is very helpful in controlling the mind through it power of purification.

Purification of mind

The Purification of mind take place through constant discrimination between the real and unreal, Through renunciation of the unreal, and through deep contemplation on the true nature of the self. The desire of self-realization is obscured by innumerable desire for things other then the self. When they have been destroyed by constant attachment to the self, the Atman clearly manifests itself of its own accord.

As the mind becomes gradually established in the inmost self, proportionately gives up desires for external objects. And when all such desires have been eliminated there take place the unobstructed realization of the Atman.

Mentality of Human Mind

We have examined in some detail one method of changing the mentality of human minds for the purpose of controlling it. This is an authentic method taught in the scriptures. When correctly practiced it can help any one at any time.

There are so many people who are so constituted that they cannot control there inner mind or because their conditions of living are not conducive to practice of this discipline. Is there any other discipline easier of practice but equally effective? One thing you have practice in your life, that is discipline, and is equally, if not more effective.

But it is difficult to speak about this very simple method. An moral story will show what we mean. There are some patients who, having suffering with an obstinate ailment, do not really trust the doctor when he prescribes a simple remedy. They are inclined to think that a difficult disease needs correspondingly complicated treatment. The same is true of the simple method we are about to describe: for some people it is simple.

Yoga, discrimination, piety, austerities, rites, study of Vedas, works of public utility, place of pilgrimage, and moral rules, particular as well as universal, none of these, I say only bind me so much as association with saints, which roots out all attachment.

Most of our attachments are due to the preponderance in our nature. When we are in the company of our perfected soul, the powerful vibrations like cosmic energy of his holiness penetrate with in us and bring about a change in the composition of our mind, lending to a preponderance up to the time being.

Sole company makes our task of controlling the mind easier, so we must not fail to seek it. But when sole company is not available, what do we do? We must depend on our own resources and go ahead with hard on our own resources and go ahead with hard and methodical work.

Changing the constitution of the mind

The impurities of the mind can be gradually comes by providing the mind with wholesome food, and by bringing about a change in the constitution of the mind so that a sattva predominates over the other two gunas. Finally, it is true, sattva has to be transcended; but first it has to predominate.

We mentioned earlier that according to the teachings of the Upanishad the mind consists of food.

The food that eats is transformed in three different ways:

the grossest part of it becomes excrement, the middle part is transformed into flesh and subtlest part goes to form the mind.

As mind consists of food, naturally the teaching follows:

When the food is pure, the mind becomes pure. When the mind becomes pure, memory becomes firm. And when a man is in possession of firm memory, all the bonds which tie him down to the world are loosed.

However, if for any reason we are not able to adopt the simple method of going beyond the gunas, other ways of controlling the mind remain open to us.

In addition to learning how to conquer tamas and rajas we need to learn how to conquer sattva also. Tams is destroyed by sattva and rajas, rajas by sattva, and sattva dies when purified. Therefore do away with they superimposition though the help of sattva.

LETS KNOW ABOUT POWER OF PYRAMIDS:

Ancient Egyptians knew the fact that a geometric design collects and radiates energy, more than 10,000 years ago. The utilizing this concept when they built their pyramids.

THE PYRAMIDS: The pyramids is a solid structure with four triangular sloping sides resting on square base and the four apices joining at a point forming the apex of the pyramid.
Each triangular a loping face is an isosceles triangle, with the sloping sides being equal and base angle equal. The lengths of the equal sides are all equal and all are similar to each other and equal area.

STORE HOUSES OF ENERGY: The Egyptians knew that the pyramids are storehouses of energy drawn from the universe. The power of pyramid was obtained through a blending of the radiation cosmic-energy with that of the gravitational force of earth.

THE PURER THE MIND THE EASIER TO CONTROL

The control of the mind depends on its purity We are unable to control our mind because its in impure state. If we live in a way, were the mind is impure state and at the same time make assiduous efforts to control the mind. Just we should go ahead to control our mind, we are not likely succeed. Except in the rare case when we start with a highly pure mind.

We need is a system of discipline for controlling the mind which will obligate its impurities. Lets know about these impurities of the mind ? they are the urges, impulses and emotions like envy, hatred, anger, fear, jealousy, lust, greed, conceit, temptation, etc., the impurities cause disturbance in the mind by creating attachment and aversion, and thus rob it of trandquillity.
